I just saw the trailer. The game looks good pretty common for the today's technology and processing power. Combat looks intense and I saw the Mako Wacko making a return although many people hates that vehicle I enjoyed it xD. They also put my favorite song Ghost Rider what the hell ?_?

 

Third: Bioware Notes

Today we debuted the first cinematic trailer for our next game, Mass Effect™: Andromeda. While we are still many months away from the game’s release date in holiday 2016, we’re excited to show you a bit of where we’re at. First, though, some background on the game itself.

 

When we wrapped up the original Mass Effect trilogy with Mass Effect 3: Citadel in early 2013, planning and design on Mass Effect: Andromeda was already well underway. We knew we wanted to start with a foundation composed of the best parts of any Mass Effect game: exciting new worlds to discover, great characters, and intense action [ THE GAME MECHANICS THAT WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH]. At the same time, we clearly wanted to expand the definition of what you should expect from a Mass Effect game.

 

While we aren’t ready to go into too many details just yet, as you saw in the trailer and can tell by the name, this game is very much a new adventure, taking place far away from and long after the events of the original trilogy. [HAND WAIVING THE PAST TRILOGY] You will play a human, male or female, though that’s actually not the character you saw in the trailer (more on that later). You’ll be exploring an all-new galaxy, Andromeda, and piloting the new and improved Mako you saw. And through it all, you will have a new team of adventurers to work with, learn from, fight alongside of, and fall in love with.

 

We built this trailer in Frostbite™, our game engine, and it represents our visual target for the final game. We are thrilled by what we’ve already been able to achieve in bringing Mass Effect to Frostbite and by putting our entire focus on PC and current gen consoles. With the time remaining in development, we’re excited about the possibility to push things even more.

Thank you again for all of the support you keep showing us, and we’re looking forward to sharing more details with you near the end of the year. Until then, the teams in our Montreal, Edmonton, and Austin studios will be hard at work creating an entirely new adventure for you to lose yourselves in.

Thanks,

Aaryn Flynn, Studio General Manager, BioWare Canada

To be fair very little is known for this new game. It does somehow acknowledge that it takes place "far away and AFTER THE EVENTS OF THE TRILOGY" which means that they (Bioware) acknowledges that the past did happen.

 

HOWEVER, we have no idea what happens to MILKYWAY except for the RGB endings which all of them are declared by Bioware as non-canon. If we somehow revisit the Milkyway in MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA wouldn't that... give us a Canon? which means we can never revisit again? also why would our protagonist be in Andromeda? Bioware should come up with a really convincing way to why, how and when we are living Milkyway or if we ever get to re-visit it ever again.

 

soooo.... is this game a sequel? what the hell is this? a restart? reboot? side step spin off?

 

the game looks great and I may get it but right now it's hell of confusing.

 

annnndd it only took 4 warning and an argument with the bioware mods for me to come up with the whole restart/reboot theory and Milkyway scrapped theory lmao

Stopped reading right there. There was no combat on display to see, so your full of it. Also you didn't even see the game's graphical capacity. You saw a CG trailer. They showed nothing. There is nothing to discusses besides theories.

it was rendered IN-GAME WITH FROSTBITE -.- he pulled out his Omniblade what do you call that a high five? Ok Ok I'll give you the benefit of doubt. If Bioware is f****** with me again then it will be the last of it. The whole point of this post is not even about praising the graphics I don't even

[LemurFromTheId]

in-engine ≠ in-game

[The Arbiter]

in-engine ≠ in-game

it's still freaking FROSTBITE THE GRAPHICS will be similar or close! why the hell are we even discussing the graphics here? it's not even the main issue of this thread

[TheRevanchist]

There is no issue to really discuses. Bioware showed nothing, in the most literal sense of that word. No Gameplay, no Plot, No mechanics, no characters, nothing. All we got was a dumb, scripted trailer that in no way resembles what the game will be like.  

[Sweawm]

After seeing Battlefront, I have high hopes for Mass Effect, considering they're definitely using Frostbite now. Those were some of the prettiest explosions I have ever seen within a game and it looks like it can really actually get some outstanding graphics out of the new console.

I don't see how that's different from the DA:I trailer, which largely looked like what the high-end graphics on PC would end up looking like.

BF is 60fps on console, ME:A will probably be 30. It will look even better.

So knowing that Battlefield with a Star Wars re-skin looked graphically pretty made the whole of MEA exciting?.....Ok.

It's not different. My point here is thinking that trailer gave us anything to actually discuses is folly. We got nothing game related to talk about. All it was was a name drop for a game everyone already knew was a thing, it was complete irrelevancy. The only thing gained from it was the Andromeda subtitle, which frankly all they needed to do was show that Title Pic, because that's literally all it amounted to.

But, if it's not different, then we can probably have a decent idea of the graphical target. I'm not saying we know anything else about the game, but we would have some idea of what it would end up looking like. 

[TheRevanchist]

dude... you feel soo disappointed. Don't worry you are not the only one.

 

No, I don't feel disappointed. I feel indifference. Nothing has changed since before that Trailer aired. We have the same amount of Non Information that we had before. That is my point.

Perhaps, but imo that's the least important aspect of the game. idc if the game looks like ME1, I would still play it if the actual GAME is good. But since we didn't see the game all we can do is keep going like before. 

[Dr. Rush]

I'm just going to keep calling it ME4 because I don't care and I'm lazy.

Well it is ME4, it is the fourth game in the franchise. 

As for OP, I think its some kind of sidy-widy-sequelly thing

[Anacronian Stryx]

I'm just gonna call it Mass Effect Andromeda because I think it's a good title.

This is simply not true. In-engine can mean significantly better textures, animations, and effects, pacing. All of these can get downgraded when actually producing the game. Certainly did for DAI.

 

 

To be more on-topic (btw your formatting literally hurt my eyes)..

 

So far, the impression is that it has elements of sequel, sidequel, reboot, and spinoff. And given older remarks on the game by BW employees, it could have a prequel element.

Sidequel - There may be a connection to or even gameplay sections which take place during or before the Reaper War. It doesn't have to even be a lot, but just enough to time part of the game to be 'during' the original trilogy.

Reboot - This won't literally be the case, but Bioware may distance the matters of this game so apart from the trilogy that nothing in the trilogy (like lore, character arcs) needs to necessarily.. at all.. be referenced or matter. 'Effectively' a reboot.

Spinoff - There is the tone of this, given that its called friggin Andromeda, not Milky Way. There is an intentional 'separation' happening, even if we find any parts of the game taking place in the Milky Way.

 

But overall, it looks like it is safe enough to call this a sequel...ish. The 'ish' part is all the stuff listed above. Bioware seems to want to advance the story, and remind people that this 'is Mass Effect', but they also seem to want to (in at least some symbolic sense) 'cut ties' to the trilogy part of Mass Effect. 

 

So yeah, call it a sequel. It just may also have elements of other things, making things harder to as easily define as ME2 and ME3 seemed to be.

 

 

And for all we know, there could be flashback sections and other things, bringing in some elements of 'prequel', but that's beyond speculation at this point. We'll see.

 

 

EDIT: We don't know if the Milky Way will be visited again or not. For all we know, a FORM of 'synthesis' is in fact inevitable now, even if it takes centuries or millennia, so Bioware could very well take us on a trip/trips around space until then. We're just (seemingly) not visiting it now.

Bioware may need to decide just what the default 'Milky Way' looks like far into the future, so in the meantime, we get to spread a presence elsewhere. For all we know, the journeys in Andromeda could impact plot once a game goes back to Milky Way. Its all unknown, other than the fact that Bioware wants us in Andromeda for the next game.

[Draining Dragon]

Given that the trailer contained a Mako, an N7 operative, a human, and a krogan, I think we can safely say that there will be some connection to the Milky Way.

I'm thinking it'll be something like Stargate: Atlantis.

[LPPrince]

I'll refer to the game as Mass Effect Andromeda, ME:A, and Andromeda.
